Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I did not get your last comment “You could pull this off by simply putting the various headers into a single IIS site entry.” Can you please explain it in detail?

I have created three below web sites in IIS and point to the “main-portal” root folder. This root folder contains the “DNN” sub-folder in which I have installed the DNN.

1. www.main-portal.com
2. www.sub-portal-1.com
3. www.sub-portal-2.com

When I try to access any of the above sites it doesn’t work as it points to the root folder of IIS not to the DNN site folder.

So I have to set portal aliases with below URLs. I have to type DNN to access the web site.

www.main-portal.com/DNN

www.sub-portal-1.com/DNN

www.sub-portal-2.com/DNN

How can I remove the “DNN” from above URLs? Is it possible to do it without changing the Web site pointer in IIS?

Thanks,

Mahesh

Will Strohl wrote As long as there isn't anything unexpected going on in your IIS configuration, just changing the portal alias in your site might be good enough.  That is, if IIS is already looking for sub-portal.com and forwarding it to your DNN install (and not sub-portal.com/dnn), then all you have to do is this... Login as a host Go to portal settings At the bottom of the page add a new portal alias matching your domain name Navigate back to your site using the domain name only (sub-portal.com/Default.aspx) If needed, log back in as as host and delete the alias that includes the sub-directory However, if you created those other sites as child portals, this may not work.

Hi Will,

To access the portals we must have to type "DNN" in URL ex. sub-portal.com/dnn only then we get the dnn portal. I don't want to type "DNN" to access the portals that means sub-portal.com should be forwarded to dnn portal, but it's not happening.

Hi Will,

Thanks for your replay.

I have added portal alias www.main-portal.com, www.sub-portal.com etc without "dnn" but it's not working as desired.

Let me know you one of the important thing that was missed out in previous post that there is default.asp page under the main-portal root directory which redirects all requests to <Portal-URL>/DNN. 

Ex. When we request www.sub-portal.com (without "DNN"), default.asp redirects it to www.sub-portal.com/DNN. This has been done because if we request the www.sub-portal.com the request don't reach to DNN portal so to be severed it by DNN website, the default.asp redirects it to <PotalName>/DNN.

FYI: following is the directory structure of my web site.
I have created three below web sites in IIS and point to the “main-portal” root folder. This root folder contains the “DNN” sub-folder in which I have installed the DNN.
